Well, it depends on weight and use.
I'm sure they carry a weight warning (as do most, if not all lightweight bars) with them.
My mate has used them from new and they've been faultless for over a decade, but he's only 10 1/2 stone. I use mine pretty hard, and I'm normally under 13 stone.
But they do creak!
Enjoy them.

First one I had lasted about 4 years, and only "snapped" out where one of the barends was clamped on after a hard crash. That said, it had been SERIOUSLY misused in the years up to that. I'd ridden it HARD in the Dark Peak area twice a week on a fully rigid bike, often with 1.5 Specialized Hard Pack tyres pumped up to 60-70 psi. I replaced it with an X-Lite titanium bar, which has also failed to snap, despite also having a poor reputation. When the chance came up, I bought another Pace bar, which is on my Dynatech with RC30 rigid forks and which has also been ridden hard. It's still like new.

So no I don't think it's any more likely to snap then any other alloy bar I could think of. Unless you're a big lad....
